We had a lovely winter stay! Charming house in the center of town.
The property was a great fit, with a full bath upstairs and downstairs, perfect for a diverse family of adults, elementary age kids, grandmother and grandfather. Ample kitchen for making our breakfasts, lunches and watching movies in the evening, and accessibility to a quaint town.
Conveniently located to downtown Northport and surrounding areas for bike riding. Our week concluded with the Uncaged Festival in Northport which was really nice.
We had a great stay. This house is conveniently locate near sleeping bear dunes, Glenn Arbor and Suttons Bay. Within walking distance to downtown Northport. Very convenient for going out for dinner and drinks at night. Great house with a lot of character. Plenty of beds and bedrooms for me and my family. Comfortable beds and furniture. We would definitely stay there again!
Great communication from owner, nice & comfy.
We loved the outside areas and the porch swing. There is plenty of parking. It is an old house and has had hodge podged not well done modifications. The outside is attractive. The bathrooms and beds were clean. We asked for more towels and the owner accommodated. The cleanliness of the house is not good. Nice furnishings, but the furniture in the living room is very dirty as are the rugs and the floors. I did mention this to the owner, but she had no comment.
Loved getting back to Northport, and the Boathouse on Waukazoo. The Mitten Brewing, NPG, Barb's Bakery, The Big Hot Woody, New Bohemian Cafe, The Tribune, The Bay Theatre in Suttons Bay [GOTG3, IYKYK], 30+ miles of walking and beaches with Newton, Roman Wheel Pizza, ice cream in Suttons Bay, The Grand Traverse Lighthouse, Peterson Park, Gill's Pier/Onomonee Road Beach. All the dogs [Alphonse, Humphrey, Max, Gabriel, Henri, Ruger AND Mystic!!!]. The family of 41 from Ohio. The family from Kentucky. The Friday Farmers Market. Bardenhagen strawberries. Perfect weather. And perfect location, hosts, and stay. Thank you, Mary Ellen - we cherish our time at the Boathouse ❤️❤️❤️??????
This was our first trip to Northport having travelled there for a wedding at Willowbrook Mill. The property was perfect! Everything was within walking distance and the cottage itself was comfortable and cozy. We look forward to spending time here again!
We had the absolute best time staying at the Boathouse. It was myself, my husband, sister, brother in law, niece, and mom. Plenty of bedrooms throughout and a nice open living space. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything you could need. The house was in a very walkable area. Just a one block walk will get you to downtown- with a grocery store, shops and restaurants. One block in the other direction will get you to an awesome waterfront park with a marina and beach and playground. I can’t say enough great things about the house and location. The proximity to Sutton’s Bay and Traverse City is excellent. We were able to hit some of favorite places in those towns and then head back to Northport within about 40 minutes tops. The Boathouse is now a favorite and we will for sure be making a return visit!
Great experience. House was old but in great condition.
Wonderful cozy cottage in a great location in Northport. We had everything we needed and more. The owners are wonderful and easy to communicate. Will definitely return.
We absolutely loved staying in Northport. Mary Ellen was an excellent host always on top of communication and quick to respond to questions. The house was very charming and perfectly set up for our group of six. The location was great in walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Parking was easy too. I really loved being able to bring our two dogs. We enjoyed playing cards at the dining room table, preparing meals in the spacious kitchen and making smores by the firepit. My only suggestions would be new mattresses upstairs and more towels. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
We had a group of 8 people and 2 dogs and this house fit our needs perfectly! It was in a great location that allowed us to just walk into town and down to the beach. It was also a great location to be able to explore all of the peninsula and not have to drive very far to get anywhere. We would definitely love to stay here again!
We had a great week at the boathouse. Myself, my husband, our 3 girls and their 3 friends (ages 11-17) all loved the house. There was plenty of room (we probably could have squeezed in another 3 girls!), beds were comfy, AC and ceiling fans kept us all cool, and the welcome bottle of wine was appreciated! Northport is our favorite up north town, and the location was perfect, the girls could walk down to the beach/park or to the shops/restaurants. And still close enough for day trips to sleeping bear and traverse city. Porch swing and fire pit were great when we were just hanging out at the house. Would love to stay here again sometime!
Process very easy! This is the second time we’ve used this property. Whole family loves this place!
This was such an enjoyable place and I am so glad I found it. Northport is such a quaint area. So peaceful. The house was immaculate and comfortable. The layout was perfect for our group of 8. Plenty of sleeping room. And you didn’t get the sense that there were beds squeezed into odd places. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for everything needed to cook meals. Plenty of utensils. Bathrooms had towels for everyone. We brought along our own beach towels, because we like to have enough to lay out. And I brought along my own hair products but I always do. There’s a small supermarket in town for supplies. And we absolutely loved the fire pit. Sat out there every night. Never once used the TV set. A great place to air out with all the comforts of home. Definitely a keeper. We got really lucky with the weather too. If I didn’t have to get back to work I’d have requested additional days.
The property was perfect for a relaxing week. We used the fire pit and barbecue for a few of our extended family members in town. When rain put a kink in our wedding photo plans the adorable curb appeal provided a perfect backdrop. The rooms are spacious and the closet space was amazing and perfect for the wedding dress and bridesmaids gowns. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Walking distance to town and the beach was perfect. I have to add the ample parking couldn’t have been better since we towed a trailer of wedding decor!
